The play, as you describe it, is not a violation in any current rules of play — FIBA, NCAA, NBA, etc.. The point of the rule is that "Basketball is to be played with the hands" (a quote from the FIBA Rule Book). If you are trying to play the ball with your leg, it is a violation. We get a few variations between rule sets on what is part of the leg .
